Department of Medicine, University of Texas Southwestern and Veterans Affairs Medical Centers, Dallas, USA.
Objectives: We studied the accuracy of dobutamine echocardiography for the detection of myocardial viability in patients with an occluded left anterior descending coronary artery and regional ventricular dysfunction.
Background: Contractile reserve during dobutamine echocardiography is an accurate marker of myocardial viability in patients with coronary stenoses and ventricular dysfunction. However, its accuracy in patients with an occluded vessel has not been evaluated.
